Misty mornings, mossy logs, green paddocks and spectacular sunrises are just some of the winter highlights at the Sanctuary.

This is a delicious sweet treat for any occasion! A blondie is a brownie that has been made with white chocolate instead of milk or dark chocolate.
Ingredients (for a large blondie):
- White chocolate. We used a bag of white Sweet William melting buttons
- 3/4 cup dairy free butter substitute of your choice, melted
- 2 bags of glace cherries, chopped into halves
- 2 1/2 cups of plain flour. You may find you need more flour depending on the flour you select. We used a gluten free variety and added another 3/4 to 1 cup to thicken the blondie. You can use a little less flour if you prefer a blondie with a gooey middle.
- 1 1/2 cups of caster sugar. You can use less if you prefer a less sweet treat.
- The equivalent of 4 eggs made with vegan egg substitute. This can be purchased at most food stores.
- Almonds to stir through or decorate the top of the blondie.
Method:
- Melt your chocolate. You can do this over the stove but we used the microwave.
- Stir through the butter substitute. We used an electric mixer but it can be done by hand.
- Add egg substitute and mix.
- Add sugar and mix, then add the chopped glace cherries.
- Stir through flour and the batter will form.
- Line a slice tray with baking paper. This blondie does not tend to rise so it will be the size of the pan you choose.
- Add the batter to the pan and decorate with almonds.
- Bake for between 45 and 65 minutes, testing with a skewer until the blondie is the consistency you want in the middle. Some people like a gooey blondie, other prefer one with a cake-like consistency.
- Cool and cut into pieces and enjoy!
